To quickly summarise, the iPad Air 5 sports the same design as its previous generation. This means the familiar 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, stereo speakers while in landscape mode, and Touch ID integrated into the power button. But with the upgrade to the M1 chip, it gains a number of key features, the main one being Centre Stage for the 12MP front-facing camera. The other, if you opt for the model that supports both WiFi and mobile data, is 5G connectivity....

One of its primary goals in enforcing a ban is to prevent several major cities within its borders from being repeatedly hit by crippling power outages, that is directly caused by these power-hungry cryptomining operations. The nationwide power outages first came to light back during February this year, when a major city in Iran was plagued with multiple power outages, brought about by GPU mining farms. The kicker to this story, however, is that these cryptofarms were not locally owned, but were in fact, owned by a China-based company called RHY....

Bloomberg reports that Jaguar Land Rover intends to phase out combustion engines to comply with the UK’s CO2 emissions rules. The company is investing GBP2.5 billion (~RM14.056 billion) a year into green tech. Which is perhaps the better alternative to paying GBP35 million (~RM196.8 million) in fines. Jaguar Land Rover will also release its first electric Land Rover in 2024. It will also introduce up to six fully electric Land Rover variants in five years....

As per its official blog post, BloodyStealer was discovered to have mainly affected PCs belonging to gamers and were lodged within the major gaming platforms, including Steam, Epic Games, Origin, GOG, and Bethesda. The antivirus company says that while the malware is still relatively new, it has already found victims within Europe, Latin America, and the Asia Pacific region. Worst still, the trojan is allegedly being sold on the underground market to threat actors as part of a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) distribution model, at a price of US$40 (~RM167) for a “lifetime license”....

More specifically, the use of the autogates will be open to foreigners with long-term visit passes. These are usually issued to those who work and study in Malaysia, expatriates, participants of the Malaysia My Second Home program, and those who are married to locals.

Bernama quotes Khairul Dzaimee as saying that “only passports with chips and those that comply with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) conditions can be used at these autogates”....

Lazada has recently announced the return of the Lazada Bonus vouchers for its 6.6 Shopmania Sale which is taking place from now until this Sunday, 6 June.

Based on renderings of the device provided by Blass, the Halo appears to be a more “traditional” high-end smartphone; featuring a more cleaner and minimalist rear panel design. Gone are the wild aesthetics and gimmicks that are often found on gaming phones, which includes the brand’s Legion Phone Duel series and the upcoming Y90. Additionally, it may also be the first Legion-branded smartphone to feature a punch-hole cutout on its display....

As mentioned before, this Sonic set came about via the LEGO Ideas platform, where fans come up with, and vote on, the sets that they want the company to make. This particular one, according to the company, was conceived by Viv Grannell from the UK. It has gotten the required 10000 votes for the company to consider actually making a purchasable set.

Like the V50 ThinQ, the upcoming V60 ThinQ is believed to come with the ability to attach a second-screen accessory. The previous implementation allowed both screens to be independent of each other or to work together for multitasking. If it works like it did on the V50 ThinQ, then one screen will also be able to serve as a controller while the other is displaying a game. According to the report, the upcoming phone will also come with an upgraded folding structure....

In its essence, VMCO is a contact tracing app that is meant to allow the public to move around and businesses to operate in an open and systematic manner. The main foundation of this app is rather simple which is through colour-coded individual profile. A green profile means that the individual can move freely within green zone areas. A yellow profile indicates that the person’s movement should be restricted to within 10km of his or her home and those with Orange profile would be restricted further to just 3km while a red profile means that the individual should not go out of his or her home....

For the uninitiated, Chainlink is a decentralised blockchain oracle network built on Ethereum that was first introduced in 2017. This network is intended to be used to facilitate the transfer of tamper-proof data from off-chain sources to on-chain transaction protocols known as smart contracts. According to its creators, Chainlink can be used to verify whether the parameters of a smart contract are met in a manner independent from any of the contract’s stakeholders by connecting the contract directly to real-world data, events, payments, and other inputs....

Specifically, Malaysians will receive RM 100 worth of digital vouchers that be used for domestic flight, train journey, and hotel stay. That being said, the exact detail on how this RM 100 digital voucher will be distributed to the Rakyat is not yet known since it was not revealed by the Prime Minister during his announcement....

Nevertheless, you are already able to register your intention to purchase them through the site and you will be provided with a free Galaxy Fit2 when you eventually place your pre-order with the telco. The offer is actually identical to what Samsung Malaysia itself has provided for the RoI page on its official website....

On stage, Microsoft boasts about just how thin the Surface Neo is at just 5.6mm. It feature a 360° hinge that allows the two 9-inch screens to fold inward or all the way to the back. The magic doesn’t end there either; the tablet cum notebook comes with its own variation of the Surface Touch Keyboard. It’s about 3/4 the size of one 9-inch display, and when folded over, it transforms the tablet into a mini notebook, with the top half of the bottom display transforming into a space that can house multiple browsers or an access point to emoji....
